I often talked with my editor during the serialization about how nice it would be if it could be adapted into a visual work. When the drama adaptation was actually decided, I realized that the drama production staff had thoroughly read the story and said it was 'an essay that makes you see pictures,' showing their affection for the work. If that's the case, I thought I could enjoy seeing how my own image would change when it's brought to life by their hands." Regarding 'Starring Issey Takahashi' "I'm really looking forward to seeing how Issey Takahashi will portray it. The essays contain many mundane stories from my childhood and adulthood, and none of them are as glamorous as the roles he played in 'Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan.' However, I think he is also a very skilled actor at playing ordinary people. I believe he is the best person to portray someone like me, who has lived an ordinary life, experienced various things, and just happened to write about them." Regarding 'Drama Script' "Since the essay was serialized weekly, it contains many small episodes in each chapter. But they have skillfully woven them together to create a single story. I think it will be really enjoyable if you read the original work and then see how it becomes a drama. I myself plan to enjoy it that way."
